The '''Gamedan languages''' are moderately inflecting languages that use mainly suffixing, ablaut, and infixing morphology.
 
Inspirations: Indo-European, Semitic, Wakashan, Salishan

===Consonants===
The following inventory of consonants is reconstructed for Proto-Gamedan. The Quichum branch preserves the most archaic consonant inventories, whereas the Talsmic branch and Wiobian are the most innovative.

===Suprasegmentals===
No phonemic pitch, tone or stress existed in Proto-Gamedan.
 
===Phonotactics===
Consonant clusters were allowed and could become complex, as in the Salishan languages.
 
==Grammar==
===Typology===
The basic word order was V2, modifier-modified.
 
The morphological form of a typical Gamedan word can be described as {{sc|root}}<{{sc|infix}}>-{{sc|suffix}}-{{sc|ending}}.
 
===Ablaut===
Much like in PIE, Proto-Gamedan had an ablaut system where roots were inflected in different ablaut grades. The ablaut system became more complex in Quame languages as laryngeal infixes yielded new vowels.
 
===Nominals===
Proto-Raxo-Talsmic did not distinguish between nouns and adjectives. They both inflected for:
*9 cases: nominative, (definite) accusative, genitive, dative, locative, ablative-comitative, allative, instrumental, adverbial
*A noun class system, indicated by different final ''classifier clitics''. Or perhaps an animate-inanimate opposition.
*3 numbers: Singular, dual, plural
 
Nouns minimally consisted of a root and an optional infix, case/number endings and a classifier suffix. The classifier suffixes play a role in gender assignment in daughter languages.
 
====Declension====
Declension A: plural ''-Vu''
 
Declension B: plural ''-Vd''
 
Declension C: plural ''-n''
 
Declension D: singular ''-i'', plural ''-e''

|-
! Adverbial

|
|}
 
====Nominal morphosyntax====
The PRT nominative and accusative cases differ from the canonical nominative-accusative system in that the accusative case marks only definite or specific direct objects.
 
===Pronouns===
 
===Verbs===
Verbs were conjugated for subject, aspect, mood, evidentiality, and voice.
 
*Subject agreement: For each pronoun, and 3rd person m/f/n, and perhaps collective
*Aspects: present, preterite, stative
*Evidentiality: direct, hearsay, unclear memory, quotative, inferential
*Moods: {Indicative, desiderative, jussive, optative}, {mirative, subjunctive}, imperative
*Voices: Active, mediopassive, causative
 
====Ablaut grades====
*present: a-grade
*preterite: e-grade
*stative: zero-grade?
*verbal noun: o-grade
 
====TAM affixes====
*{{angbr|''n''}}: aorist infix. (Wiobian preterite {{angbr|n}})
*''-ƛ-'': dynamic affix (progressive ''-tł-'' in Raxic, future ''-t-'' in Themsarian)
*''-eʔ'': stative affix (Themsarian preterite tone change.)

On a hill, a sheep that had no wool saw horses, one of them pulling a heavy wagon, one carrying a big load, and one carrying a man quickly. The sheep said to the horses: "My heart pains me, seeing a man driving horses". The horses said: "Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us when we see this: a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool". Having heard this, the sheep fled into the plain.
